Francis just smiled and said, “Babe, think about it, if I don’t help them this time, we will be their first suspects when something goes wrong with their business in the future. Don’t you think so?”
“Are you going to help me take revenge on them?” Her eyes lit up with excitement.
“Do you really want that? Well, since you are so excited about that, I’ll think about it.” He said as he looked at her.
And then Scarlett had her arm around his waist. She looked up and said, “So you are pretending to help them, and you will stab them in the back, right? You are going to help me take revenge on them, right?”
Francis touched her hair gently and asked seriously, “Babe, do you really want to take revenge on the
But Scarlett was too far away to hear their chattering. As she walked downstairs and kept yawning, the cold wind woke her right up, putting an end to her sleepiness in one fell swoop. And all of a sudden, she heard a voice saying,“Excuse me! Do you know where Scarlett Morris is?”Scarlett heard her own name mentioned, and she raised her head to see Claire in a red coat and black knee-high boots asking around about her.She slowly walked over to her and asked, “Are you looking for me? What do you want from me?”Claire smiled coyly, “It’s too cold here. Let’s go find a warm place to sit down and chat for a moment. What do you say?”Scarlett nodded her assent, although she was uns
Staring at Scarlett’s back outside the window, Claire bit her lips slightly and thought to herself: if Francis didn’t really love Scarlett, she might still have a chance to win his love. If she didn’t fight for it and missed her chance, she would end up depressed. She would have to watch her beloved spend the rest of his life unhappily. She couldn’t allow that to happen. After all, for her, Francis was no less than a god. Scarlett was just a daughter of a failure, how could she be worthy of her god?Scarlett knew Claire was very ignorant, but she never expected her to be that ignorant. Carrying a little plastic bag with drinks, Scarlett walked back to the classroom down the chilly campus path, cursing the cold weather under her breath.In the afternoon
As Scarlett was walking out of Mr. Smith’s office, he suddenly piped up again,“You are free to have a relationship and get married to whoever you choose. And I hope that you won’t be tarnished further for your personal decisions in life. I wish you a happy marriage.”At the moment, Scarlett was almost about to cry.She turned around, thanked Mr. Smith profusely, and then walked out.As soon as she got into the corridor, the levees broke, and Scarlett began sobbing uncontrollably.“Hey, don’t cry! You are calm inside. Don’t cry now, okay?” Sarah tried to comfort her. In truth, Sarah didn’t know how to comfort her.“I&rsqu
Skyler closed his lips and said, “I know how hard these things have been on you, Scarlett. I want to make sure you’re okay. And do whatever I can to help you.”Scarlett put her arm around his shoulder and said, “I don’t care what others think of me; I only care about what you think and feel. As long as you know the truth, nothing else really matters to me. You know that, right?”Skyler looked up at her and said seriously, “I’ll always respect your choice, and I mean it.” Skyler knew his sister very well, no matter how difficult things got, Scarlett had never done anything that would compromise her dignity. She had the utmost self-control and respect for herself.Scarlett was kind of intimidated by the serious look on his face, “Hey, chill out. You sound so
“In the past, you just ran off alone to save Skyler… I know you love Skyler, but why don’t you just let me help? I have connections and resources…” He said as he held her shoulder tightly and went on, “It’s my responsibility to deal with Vivian. Can’t you just have some faith in me? I’ll handle it, Scarlett. I’ll make it all better.”Looking up, Scarlett stared into his serious eyes and said, “Francis, you don’t have to keep acting as if you have the answers all the time. This is a difficult situation, and I’m allowed to have a say or try to fix things in whichever way I see it. Could you just let me handle her this time? Is that so unacceptable to you?”“Come on, babe, sometimes you are so naïve…these aren’t simple matters. The world of business
Eve smiled and put one hand on Scarlett’s shoulder, “Well, it all depends on how much influence you can have on Francis, doesn’t it? He’s probably only going to listen to you. You’re the one with the most influence on him.” When she saw Scarlett didn’t answer her, she just brushed her hair and said, “Anyway, I don’t know anyone else who can do this for me, so I can only count on you.”“Won’t Damon be mad at me?” Scarlett glanced at her.“No, he won’t! He’s not like that.” Eve promised her.But Scarlett was doubtful about the whole thing. Eve’s plans just seemed too fanciful to ever become a reality.If Eve’s wild stories were to be trusted in the first place,
“All I can tell you is that all the speculations about this couple on the Internet are just rumors. As for the discussion about not holding the wedding and what that may have to do with their marriage, rest assured that their marriage is very much intact. The real fact is that Mrs. Sandler pays great attention to the details of the wedding. Mr. Sandler wants to take the time to plan the wedding out to match her specifications. It's in the works, everybody, please be calm.”“What’s the budget for the wedding?” asked the journalist.“Well, I have no idea about that! But I assure you that my boss will not care about how much money it may cost. All he cares about is making sure that his new wife is happy all the time!”However, because of Jimmy’s replies, the wedding becam
“What? Who are you? Is this really Francis I’m speaking to right now?”Francis laid down, and put his arm around Scarlett’s shoulders, and said, “Scarlett, we can’t keep running away from my parents like this. It just doesn’t make sense. As long as they are alive, Carlos should have the chance to form a meaningful relationship with them. He’s their grandson, after all! Blood is thicker than water, Scarlett. I know how you feel because of your rough childhood… and everything that happened with your dad… but family is family.”Scarlett looked back at him and said, “Do you know that I almost miscarried? Where were they when I was going through tough times? Why didn’t they care for my son back then or me?”“Scarlett, haven’
